AND THE VACATION ANSWER IS…
ESCAPE TO THE CARIBBEAN
I had just boarded my Air Jamaica flight and even while walking down the aisle to my seat in the middle of the plane I began to relax, really relax. I was on vacation and on my way to the vacation playground in the Caribbean.

SCUBA DIVING, SNORKELING
IN THE CARIBBEAN

Princess Cruises' Caribbean Princess has just emerged from an extensive drydock to add many of the line's new signature features such as the street cafe atmospher, the adults-only Sanctuary, new restaurants and seven new suites. Read on under ARTICLES for more details.

When you think of the Caribbean, you undoubtedly think romance. Long walks on the beach, a glass of wine while watching sunsets followed by romantic dinners and serenades as the sea kisses the shore.

The Caribbean is not only the leading warm weather destination in the world, it is right now the leading region for value vacations.

Don’t let the economic crisis get you down. There are many destinations and hundreds of hotels that are ready to welcome you, your family and friends with the warm sun and even warmer smiles that will make you forget everything else.

This may be the peak winter season, but there is room at the inn and available accommodations in many of the most sought after hotels and resorts across the Caribbean, even on some of the most popular islands in the region. And peak winter season prices have never been lower. (See PACKAGES section for Details)

ADD A SPA TO YOUR VACATION

My husband was sitting in the den watching football on television. My three children, ages 15, 12 and 8, were all somewhere in the house all doing different things on their own. I was watching the fall wind gather leaves and move them about across our parched lawn.

IT’S ALL ABOUT CHOICES
It’s winter and you need to get away to a warm weather destination, but you don’t know where you want to go. We have a group of friends (five or six couples) that live on a lake called Cossayuna. It freezes over in winter and we all need to escape to warmer climates.
